Gee We actually just had IPSwitch put in here since the IT Admins didn't like MSN / Yahoo / Google Talk and any other messenger apps and it sucks. I'm on a state / county network and what is even worst is we can't link these 2 networks together to be able to transfer files to each other, I've been looking for a middle ground / setup where both networks could share files and keep in synch with each other since it's getting old running around with the jump drive and burning DVDs just to put the data off this network to this network which is like right next to each other! 1 network is a 3mb fiber connection which is always having problems no wonder! I work out at the Property Tax Assessor's office which has the network linked along with several dozen different departments in this county like the justice center / sheriff's dept / police dept which I'm sure is the #1 reason of our network problems (plenty of goons and disgruntled employees out there that get a kick out of DDoSing these branches) Yet they're still adding more crap to block like gmail etc... Which is like making the damn firewall crawl which makes the point of having a 3mb fiber connection pointless due to the firewall halting and slowing down traffic checking it 1 by 1 It'd prolly improve alot if they'd stop filtering sites and all that and just focus on the real main threats which are computers that aren't up to date or even have anti-virus installed etc.. that's the best thing to do... Ensure every PC on the network has ample protection, AV / Anti-Spam / Adware protection instead of adding crap to the filter and slowing down network performance it's hard enough already with all these security measures.
Just my 2 cents:-)
